its almost over
well, today is the first day of the sake noss regatta. its less than 1 week to the interschools and after that, i probably wont be sailing again for the rest of the year. i will miss everyone especially the people i met all those years ago while i was still sailing the optimist or topper. people like Feng Yi, Desiree, Yen Riel, Eugene. I love my the people who are in the squad at the moment. great bunch of people. for the first time we sat together after the boats had been taken off the water and just chatted. that was super duper nice!! man... i'm gonna miss it after the interschool. perhaps i'll keep sailing after the IGCSEs. its been a long time and today the wind was really strong and the water was very rough. so much so that when we were recovering, some of the boats were thrown by the waves into the shore which had rocks strewn all over the place resulting in many damages. thankfully, it didnt happen to my boat. i am glad everyone helped everyone else recover which sped up the process and i think it reduced damages. i'll miss the squad when i have a break for the exams. today's race? well, i've finished midfleet and i feel a bit sad that i do not sail as well as i used to but yet happy because i did my best and have no regrets about it. after all, strong wind and choppy water is not my strong point. oh well, tomorrow is a new day and i'll try to improve my results. hopefully i will so i can have fond memories of the last ranking race of the year.next target? interschool sailing championships!
